first of all I just wanted to say thanks to everybody for a great forum.

i'm sure this has been answered before, but when the new games start coming out like, "Mario Super Sluggers" and they have the firmware update on them will it brick you wii if you VC wads and homebrew channel installed when you do the update?

I have a wasabi modchip

thanks in advance for the help.

would it be beneficial to just update to wainiko's custom firmware right now?

Current Info:
-Will not brick
-Deletes the Twilight Hack
-Does not effect unofficial channels (Homebrew or VC)
-May effect other-region stuff (Partly confirmed)
-If you want homebrew on your wii and don't have it yet, do not install this update.
-Wakinoko's save installer is unknown to force the twilight hack save over (Unconfirmed)

Theres a new twilight hack which can be found here. Works with 3.3 so you won't have to worry about the save getting deleted.

All 3.3 does is remove the ability to run trucha signed disks. (Though they can still be forced through gecko OS.)

I decided to update because
1- shop channel wasn't working, and I didn't have WiiWare enable firmware, and
2- I wanted to update before any update Nintendo will make now that Bushing told them).
I was hoping to update to 3.2V2 only, so I checked what was downloaded while updating to switch off the console after shop channel download, but it started with system menu and 3.3 before any other thing.

So, now I'm in 3.3E, and I just realized all my BrickBlocked games are not working
I'm using WUM to brickblock or change the update partition, and it's not even trucha signed, but it doesn't work anymore.

I read here that BrickBlocked games were working, Why does WUM brickblock is not working ?
Anyone else using WUM can confirm ? Does BrickBlock really work ?

I know I can boot using GeckoOS, it's just bad now that a lot of games are making the Wii to hang if I let them inside.

Well, yes. but I only find the 3.3E on the servers that include the 3.3E with the patched IOS zu prevent homebrew. I Need the update 3.3E files with the fakesigning bug.
Is there a list anywhere that shows wich game comes with which update?

yeah.. you better did some research.
Today tona released an app which installs the new ios51 and the shopupdate but on your old firmware version. Wait until tomorrow... someone maybe release an app to downgrade.
the point, why the new update was "bad" is the fact all IOSES on the console got patched so, that there is no more fakesigning bug. which was needed for ex. trucha
